Minecraft Dungeons will release next month on May 26. Ahead of that, we have some new information on how Minecraft Dungeons online matchmaking works, which is that the Minecraft-meets-Diablo spin-off won't have it.
The news comes from the game's FAQ page, which True Achievements recently picked up.
The goal is to get people to play Minecraft Dungeons together. “Minecraft Dungeons is designed to be played with your friends — on a comfy couch or in a cozy online session,” says Mojang.
And as the quote shows, Minecraft Dungeons still supports online play for friends. You just can't pair up with random people. Also remember that for a while you will have to play with friends who own the game on the same platform as you; Minecraft Dungeons crossplay isn't coming until later.
This all lines up with what we already knew about how the team wants people to experience the game based on previous Minecraft Dungeons dev diaries on level design and balance.
The Minecraft Dungeons FAQ page is on the Minecraft website, and you can check out the original story on True Achievements. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Minecraft Dungeons news as it emerges.
